Breakdown:
Central Nervous System (CNS)
• Brain• Spinal Cord
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
• Somatic Nervous System• Autonomic
Nervous System– Sympathetic N.S.–Parasympathetic
N.S.

Function of the CNS:
• Spinal Cord– Conducts sensory information to the brain– Conducts motor information to the brain• Skeletal Muscle• Cardiac Muscle• Smooth Muscle• Glands
– Minor reflex center
![Page 5: Nervous System Anatomy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081802/56816587550346895dd83fe8/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Functions of the CNS:• Brain– Receives sensory input from Spinal Cord and own
nerves (e.g. olfactory/optical nerves)– Process information– Generates and coordinates appropriate responses

Functions of the PNS:Somatic Nervous System–Regulate body
movement• Control of skeletal
muscle• Reception of
external stimuli (i.e. the senses!!)
Summary: RECEIVE and REACT to the WORLD around us!!!

Major Divisions
• The brain of all vertebrates develops from three swellings at the anterior end of the neural tube of the embryo. From front to back these develop into the:– Forebrain (Prosencephalon)
• Cerebral Hemispheres: Telencephalon and Diencephalon– Midbrain (Mesencephalon)
• Substantia nigra, Ventral tegmental area (VTA)– Hindbrain (Rhombencephalon)
• Medulla oblongata, Pons, Cerebellum

Crossing Over• “Impulses reaching the
spinal cord from the left side of the body eventually pass over to tracts running up to the right side of the brain and vice versa. In some cases this crossing over occurs as soon as the impulses enter the cord. In other cases, it does not take place until the tracts enter the brain itself.”
• How is this possible???– Corpus Callosum!!
